Our Little Guy: One Month Old

Happy 1 month of life, Cruz!

Wow, Little Mango is already ONE month old {well, he was on Tuesday} and I can hardly believe it. It seems like just last week we were in the hospital with him - so excited to get to know him and his personality, but nervous to bring him home on our own. On the flip side, it's hard to imagine my life prior to him being in it.



Sporting the onesie Gma Carol made out of fabric from a
onesie Nick wore when he was a newborn

Hanging in his crib

All stretched out...on his {loud} blanket

What has Cruz been up to?

• Eating: up to 4 1/2 oz depending on the day.
• Sleeping: approximately 2-3 hours in between eating.
• Developments: cooing, sighing, squeaking. Loves wiggling his hands free from his swaddle. Started tummy time to strengthen his little neck and making funny faces when we're holding his gaze. He favors his right side and only lays with his head facing that way. He seems to know our voices and when he hears us looks right in our direction.
• Features: Cruz still has his deep blue eyes {wonder what color they will be?}. His skin has been relatively clear, except for the random blemish and scratch from his long nails {which were clipped for the first time by aunt Ashley this week}. He still has his thick head of hair including the mullet and receding hair line...never thought I would love those two features so much!

 He loves the Christmas lights

Started playing on his floor gym this week - loves the colors & sounds!

Love you Little Man - this has been the BEST month of my life!
